We had a Primary Carnival and "Trunk-or-treat" that ended up in the hallway because it was pouring down buckets of rain. It was a lot of fun despite the weather!
Cameron's scout troop was able to go on the American Air Force base and sit in an F-16 flight simulator that the real pilots use to practice on as well as get the grand tour of an F-16. Caleb got to tag along which he thought was pretty cool! It happened to be Cameron's birthday that day, so it was quite a present for him. The Commander there let each boy "take-off", "fly" and "shoot-down some bad guys."
We had a fabulous time with Matt and Trista and Zander and Maddy. They were able to come over and see Paris, Rome and Venice. Our kids were thrilled that a couple of their cousins came....because of that I keep hearing "when are we moving back to the states....we want to live right near our cousins!!!" Maybe it's not such a good idea having their cousins come - just kidding! I wouldn't change it for the world!
The Red Sea was absolutely magnificent! It was such a fabulous experience to be able to see the beautiful, colorful fish and coral reef. Cameron and Caleb 'caught the bug' but Sydney had a fear of going in that deep of water in the sea. To make a very long story short as well as Blake talking her through her fears, she literally overcame this fear and actually went snorkeling the last day. She fell in love with snorkeling. We're so proud of her!
King Tut......They crack us up! The guy in the picture with Sydney seriously asked how many camels we wanted for her...every time we saw him - which was often!
The kids had a ball playing beach volleyball. After watching the Olympics this summer, they have a new interest in the sport! We had so much fun swimming. By the end of every day, we all crashed!
